As I start settling down in Bangalore, I'm having a tough time maintaining my phone book. Mobile has become a neccessity and a convience tool. Everyone in India now carries a mobile phone (starting from the domestic help, the utility workers, professionals besides friends and families).
Some of my phone book entries look like this :
Murli 'Grill'
Ranga 'Carpenter'
Venu 'Insurance'
Marshall 'Cleaner'
Satya 'Driver'
Kamlamma 'House cleaning'
Aarthi 'School'
Pradeep 'Car Sales'
And so on...
Indian names tend to be common - more often than not, we have to associate context to the names. Also, these entries tend to be short-lived i.e they are only useful to you for a particular period. The current phone book tends to be not-so-useful for these. It would be awesome if I could some how categorize these entries based on some activity. One way I'm organizi'ng these entries is to use the 'notes' section for each of these phone entries (and that allows adding some context to each name)
